Pre-order A Game of Dwarves and have ale literally grow on trees

That’s the spirit. Despite an always-audible low buzz of Dungeon Keeper nostalgia and a post-Dwarf Fortress vacuum open to anybody willing to build a UI, the most monolithic game publishing houses are hardly lunching on the bit to reboot the ‘90s management genre.

So: A pre-ordered copy of A Game of Thrones comes with the Ale Pack DLC, which “introduces dwarvenkind’s favourite drink to the game and is a must for maintaining happiness in any well-to-do underground fortress”, though I can’t imagine the game proper is teetotal without it.

The asking price is a really very reasonable $9.99, which you can pay via Steam, GamersGate, GameStop, or a variety of other online fences. Will this be the game to cut out a chunk of Dwarf Fortress manageable enough for the masses?
